HANDLE FOB SOLDERING=IRONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,444, dated November2'7, 1888.

Serial No. 165,530. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN J. liIURRAY, a citizen of the United States,residing at 3524 Haverford street, in the city of Philadelphia, State ofPennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Fire-Proof Handleto be used on Soldering-Irons, Files, Rasps, Wood Chisels &c.,of whichthe following is a description.

The ordinary wooden handle used on soldering-irons becomes charred andburned by the heated iron, and soon splits and is rendered useless.

The objectof my invention is to so protect the wood as to prevent itfrom being burned and split.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a sectional view of my improvedhandle, and Fig. 2 an elevation of same.

My invention has for its object to prevent the oharring and burning ofsoldering-iron handles, which invariably occurs when the wooden handleis attached direct to the iron itself.

My invention, accordingly, consists of the combination, construction,and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.

ln the drawings, A represents a solderingiron, of which 0 is the handle,a the stem, a the point, and B the casting, which I place be tween thehandle 0 and stem at to protect the former. The casting B has a recess,If, into which is inserted the stem a. At the bottom of casting B is aflange, 1, into which tits one end of the handle 0. In the bottom of therecess or seat 1), between the part b of casting B and the flange b, Iplace asbestus or other material which is a non conductor of heat. Thepart b of casting B changes at 1) into the stem 0, which projects beyondthe handle 0, in order toallow the nut b to be placed thereon. I do notconfine myself to a nut, as a 'rivet or other contrivance may be used,as

, and in the ferrule, means at the outer end of the tube and bearing onthe end of the handle for securing these parts together, and a devicefor holding the toolshank within the tube and ferrule, as set forth.

3. A tool-handle comprising a tube and ferrule in one piece, a hollowhandle on the tube and in the ferrule, means at the outer end of 60 thetube and bearing upon the end of the haudle for securing these partstogether. and a set-screw passing through the cylindrical base of thetube and ferrule, as set forth.
